Portfolio overview
Discover our medical grade collagen solutions
Medical grade soluble and fibrous collagen
Derived from bovine tissue, our collagen is versatile across a variety of processes and is available in powder, slurries, films, pads, and custom scaffolds. This includes:
- Collagen slurry ideal for coatings, composites, and molded forms.
- Custom bone grafts compatible with either your bioceramics or ours.
Application spotlight: Setting the standard in vascular closure
The Angio-Seal™ is a device that is used following a percutaneous cardiovascular procedure. Our Biomedical team developed the device, ran all R&D phases in-house, established the FDA-required clinical trials for approval, and later commercialized the device and sold it to our partner.
Frequently asked questions
Here are common questions that our experts get asked. Do you have a different question? contact us.
Why would I use collagen in my device?
- Because collagen is a natural material, it provides an excellent substrate for healing - with tunable remodeling and handling properties (collagen remodeling is driven by host biological processes versus hydrolysis).
What type of collagen is most appropriate for my process?
- Soluble collagen can be easily adapted in most collagen processing applications; while fibrous collagen may require some additional manipulation.
What can I coat with your collagen?
- Our medical grade collagen slurries are optimized to coat various materials, including sutures, meshes, and other implantable medical devices.
If we don’t have coatings expertise, who can we contact with questions?
- Our trusted specialists can support you with any coatings question. Please get in touch and we will be happy to connect you with the right technical service teams.
What class of clean room do you use to process your collagen?
- dsm-firmenich Biomedical produces collagen using current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) uses in ISO Class 8 Clean Rooms. For more information, please see our Quality & Certifications.
How do I know your collagen is safe?
- Our medical grade collagen has been used in devices globally and has treated more than 40 million patients worldwide over a period of more than 30 years. Our rigorous animal sourcing procedures, thorough quality control system, and adherence to established regulatory guidelines have made dsm-firmenich Biomedical the partner of choice in medical grade collagen devices for regenerative medical solutions.

We understand that medical product development can be a long, winding - and occasionally bumpy road. Rest assured that at dsm-firmenich Biomedical, we have the proven experience, capabilities, and knowledge to support you every step of the way.
It starts with using a form-fit-function approach based on a comprehensive understanding of how the human body reacts to biomaterials following implantation. This in turn enables us to design materials that are compatible with the body’s physiology and help you develop finished products that can sustain, restore, and repair – all supported by applicable regulatory requirements.
